The Invicta Expedition is one of four deep space exploration missions launched in 2392 by the United Federation of Planets, at the direction of Federation President Nan Bacco to recapture the spirit of Starfleet's early five-year missions of the Constitution class.
While each ship of the expedition is commanded by its own CO, the commander of the expedition itself is Fleet Captain Aron Kells, who maintains his office on the expedition's flagship, the Cardiff class USS Invicta. The Invicta is accompanied by four support vessels: the USS Garuda, the USS Mercury, the USS Tiger-A, and the USS Syracuse. The Invicta departed on its mission from Astrofori One in the Menthar Corridor, heading farther out into the frontier, away from the Federation and Cardassian Union.
